Colosseum

This wonderful place is also called Flavian Amphitheatre.  Rome has so many historical locations and sites, its impossible to see them all in a single visit.  I really enjoyed our stop at the Colosseum, but I wish we could have stayed longer and without the other thousand tourist.  They claim it could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators, but I have my doubts.  I’ve been in massive modern stadiums that only hold 40,000.  I don’t see any way this place could hold as many people as they claim.  Anyway….its a great location and worth checking out.

Athens Ruins

Athens wasn’t my favorite destination, but I’m glad I had a chance to see many of the sites.  During some free time, I wandered around and found this site.  I honestly don’t know the details, history or name, but it was a great site.

Tulum

About an hour and a half drive south of Cancun is the Tulum Mayan ruins.  This site is one of hundreds…maybe thousands across Central America.  Most of the sites are buried under the jungle and haven’t been touched in something like….oh Mayan time.  Anyway, this specific site is a Mexican archaeological site that you can tour.  What’s unique about it is the fact it sits right on the cliffs overlooking the beach. 

We had a great time exploring this site doing our best to take it all in and ignore the other tourists.  I captured some great photos and enjoyed the day with MJ.
